We all got to the top of the steps and I saw Draco at the bottom of the stairs talking to Goyle. He was wearing black dress pants with a white button up and a white vest along with a white bow tie under a black blazer. He looked soo good.

Hermione smiled at me as the 4 of them went to the great hall. Goyle pointed at me and Draco turned around. With his hands in his pockets his jaw dropped slightly before it turned into a smile. Goyle patted him on the back and went into the great hall.

When I got to the last couple steps Draco put his hand out for me and I took it lifting up my dress a little so I wouldn't trip. He still had a huge smile on his face.

"Sorry it's a little extra." I said blushing while flatting out my dress.

"No. You look perfect." He smiled while looking into my eyes. Damn those eyes.

"Well thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." I laughed.

"Oh this old thing." He said pulling up his blazer. I laughed as he took my hand. "Shall we?" He said sorta taking a bow. I nodded and we headed to the giant doorway.

As we walked in it was beautiful. There was nicely set tables and a giant dance floor where pairs were already dancing. Candles floating near the top of the ceiling. I was in ah.

"May I have this dance?" Draco asked taking me out of my trance. A slow song started to play. I nodded with a smile and he dragged me to the dance floor.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I put my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer and I put my head on his chest. His heart was beating so fast. I laughed a little.

I felt safe in his arms. Which was odd since he was always known as the bad boy. Some people believe he works for who shall not be named. He always told me his father has but he's tried everything to avoid that. I knew the real him.

After about an hour of dancing and having dinner Draco and I were sitting at a table. I looked onto the dance floor and saw Ron and Hermione slow dancing. Hermione looked up at Ron and they kissed.

I smiled then looked over at Ginny and Harry who were sitting down talking. Ginny had a huge smile on her face which just made me smile more.

Draco tapped me on the shoulder and I looked up at him. He took my hand and started to drag me somewhere.

"Where are we going?" I laughed following him. He didn't say anything but we ended up outside. It was a beautiful night with stars in the sky. It was freezing tho. I started to shiver once we got to a bench to sit down.

Draco took off his blazer and put it around my shoulders. I pulled it around me a little more while I looked up at him as he sat down.

"Aren't you gonna get cold?" I asked him.

"I'd rather you be warm. Besides you look adorable in my clothes." He laughed while moving a piece of my hair out of my face.

"So why did you bring me out here?" I laughed.

"I wanted to tell you a story.." he said with a smile. I gave him a very confused look which made him laugh. I had no idea what he was talking about but I sat there and listened. It gave me time alone with him, which I always loved.

"So there was this boy in first year. He was absolutely terrified to start school. He had no friends and sat alone on the train to Hogwarts. Once he got off he accidentally ran into this girl making them both fall to the ground. The boy was so worried he hurt the girl he quickly stood up and went over to where she was. By his surprise she was laughing. "I am so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." The boy said offering his hand to the girl. The girl took his hand and stood up, still laughing..." he continued.

I smiled realizing he was telling the story about how we first met. I loved how he was telling it so I didn't want to interrupt him. "....the boy was confused why she was laughing. "Why are you laughing?" The boy asked her looking at her confused. "I always heard the story about a pretty boy knocking the girl off her feet. I never believed it tho." The girl said laughing. The boy started to blush but laughed with her. This girls smile melted his heart. The boy thought..."

Wait what? He never told me that. I started to smile some more as he continued the story.

"....for weeks the boy never stopped thinking about that girls smile. Every time he closed his eyes he would see her beautiful smile. At some point he realized he fancied this girl from the moment he saw her smile..." he paused for a second and smiled.

I smiled back in a little bit of shock. I never knew he felt this way. What he didn't know was that was the same moment I fell for him. He continued.

"...skip ahead a couple years to year 3. The boy and girl became best friends and told each other everything. The boy was always mean to the girl when he was with his friends but he always felt horrible about it. He just didn't want his father to know he had a soft side. But one day in charms class he was partnered up with the girl, who he fancied very much for 3 years now..."

I was trying to remember what day that was but I couldn't put my finger on what happened and why he's telling me.

"...the boy and girl really didn't talk much during that lesson but near the end of working on a charm, he messed up which frustrated him. But it made the girl laugh. At one point she snorted a little which started to make the boy laugh. The girl got embarrassed and her face turned red but it just made her more beautiful. The boys laugh made the girl laugh more and they just sat there laughing. Until Professor Flitwick scolded them for laughing, which made them laugh more. At one point the boy stopped laughing and admired the girl. She was beautiful he thought. He felt something inside him, his heart skipped a beat seeing that same smile from 2 years ago. That day the boy realized he loved this girl but didn't know if she loved him back." Draco said finishing his story with a smile.

At this point he had his hand on my cheek looking in my eyes. I had a huge smile on my face. I was shocked I had no idea he felt the same. He started to rub his thumb on my cheek. His touch gave me butterflies in my stomach.

"So now the boy is sitting in front of the girl right now asking her if she loves him too.." Draco said.
